Dear List,

Most of you know that I teach that the Gospels are fraudulent documents manufactored by the Catholic church to give people something to believe about the Messiah.

Even though I belief this, I still quote from them and point out things in them pro and con.

Many of have read the story of the three wise men who came to Bethlehem looking for Jesus when he was born.

In the book of Matthew, all chapter 2 (verses 1-23) is about this fable.

Let’s take a look at the key verses in this chapter that mentions the "star of Bethlehem."

In Matthew 2: 1-2, 7, and 9-10, (KJV) it states:

1. "NOW WHEN JESUS WAS BORN IN BETHLEHEM OF JUDEA IN THE DAYS OF HEROD THE KING, BEHOLD, THERE CAME WISE MEN FROM THE EAST TO JERUSALEM,

2. SAYING, WHERE IS HE BORN KING OF THE JEWS? FOR WE HAVE SEEN HIS STAR IN THE EAST, AND ARE COME TO WORSHIP HIM.

7. THEN, HEROD WHEN HE HAD PRIVILY CALLED THE WISE MEN, INQUIRED OF THEM DILIGENTLY WHAT TIME THE STAR APPEARED.

9. NOW WHEN THEY HAD HEARD THE KING, THEY DEPARTED; AND LO, THE STAR, WHICH THEY SAW IN THE EAST, WENT BEFORE THEM, TILL IT CAME AND STOOD OVER WHERE THE YOUNG CHILD WAS.

10. WHEN THEY SAW THE STAR, THEY REJOICED WITH EXCEEDING GREAT JOY."

Now, let me ask you some questions:

Is it likely that a star, in deep space, billions of miles away, "COULD NOT" be what the three wise men saw and followed?

Is it likely that a star, in deep space, would be seen, and suddenly disappear, and not be seen anymore, until it reappeared again like it did in the story?

Is it likely that a star, in deep space, can pin-point the location of a small baby under it?

If so, how can a star, in deep space, stop its journey across the sky, and then hover over, or stand or sit in a place directly over the child in the manger?

Now let me ask you another question:

Is it likely that the wise men, seeing this star, and following it, was a night time event?

My beloved brothers and sisters, the answer to all these questions is no!

The following explanations suggest that this star-like object could not be one of the stars we see in the night sky, billions of miles away, in deep space.

These explanations also suggest that the wise men saw the star-like object in broad open daylight and not at night.

For instance, in the verses I used above, this star, that the three wise men saw, was something that looked similar to a real star. It went from them and they saw it no more for periods of time.

They must have greatly missed seeing the star. After it disappeared, they must have begun to doubt what they saw, and needed to see it again and again for heavenly confirmation that they were doing right. Because of this, they must have hoped greatly to see it again.

They must have looked forward to seeing it, even desperately scanning the skies for it often. The reason why I say this is because, when it did re-appear to them, verse 10 says:

"...WHEN THEY SAW THE STAR, THEY REJOICED WITH EXCEEDING GREAT JOY."

Their highly emotional reaction proves that they were anxiously hoping, very greatly, to see the star again to take away all doubt about what they all had been seeing.

If the star was actually a star in deep space, that they saw all the time, every night when the skies were clear, they would not have reacted so emotionally. The reason why is that they would have been so use to seeing the star, in the night sky, that they would not have reacted at all.

Put yourself in their shoes. Have you ever "...rejoiced with exceeding great joy" when you saw regular stars in night sky? No you have not! And, I do not have to be you to know what your reactions are when you see stars.

Regular stars, in the sky, do not come and appear and disappear. When it is too cloudy for you to see the stars at night, after the weather cleared up, "ALL" the stars, you’ve ever seen in your life, would be right back in the same position and circuit they were in every time you ever saw them.

This was the same case with the wise men, and they never would have "rejoiced with exceeding great joy" at seeing stars they see every clear night!

Because all this, the star that's mentioned in Matthew chapter 2 is not likely a star in the heavens far, far away in deep space.

Also, when you analyze these verses closely, it should be clear, to you, that no real star, in space, can pin-point a location, on earth, under it like the star of Bethlehem did over the manager. The reason why is because a deep space star is so, so far away that every point on earth could be considered under it!

In order for an actual star, or star-like object, to pin-point a place under it, the star would have to be flying very, very low in the earth’s atmosphere. And, it would have to be directly over the place under it and not that many feet off the ground. This is impossible for a real star to do.

Also, consider this, those verses said that this star-like object went or flew over the manger "... and stood where the young child was." The word stood means that it stopped or hovered, in one place in the sky, over the manger. A real star does not fly through the lower levels of the sky with out burning up every one on earth!

Based on this reasoning, this star, that the wise men saw, could not be a real star that we see in the night sky! Biblical scholars, and people who read their bibles closely, know that this star is not a heavenly star.

Now, let me ask you this:

Is it possible, since the wise men saw the star on at least two different occasions: before starting their search for the "king of the Jews," and after leaving Herod, that they saw several different stars of Bethlehem?

The answer to this question is yes! It is possible that the wise men saw a number of star-like objects, from the first one they saw to the last one, and that it was not the same object each time they saw it.

Now for my final question:

Is it possible that the wise men saw these sightings in broad open daylight and not night?

Yes, indeed it is possible, and it was daylight and not nightime when they saw them.

The way you can know this is when you consider that they saw these sightings right after leaving Herod. It would, more than likely, have been in the day time, during business hours, when government officials were normally available.

Also, when they saw the sightings, they were journeying.

This suggests they saw the stars of Bethlehem during the day. Because, since the dawn of time, people journeyed when the sun was up. They made camp at sun down, started a fire, cooked food, and rested for the night. Then, they got up, about sunrise, and continued on their journey.

The reason why they did this is simple. At night, they have a hard time seeing where they were going. Because of this, journeying at night was not likely. But, most likely, these sightings appeared in the sky to them during the day time.

For centuries, people have been wondering what was this star or stars that the three wise men encountered?

Well, I know for a fact what they are because they have appeared to me over 1,500 times for the last quarter century!

The stars of Bethlehem are the most common type of UFOs called glowing orbs.

They are either physical, circular flying glowing objects or they appear as balls of energy or lights.

They appear in the sky above a person, group of people, or a place.

The balls of light or glowing energy balls can fly through the walls of your home, stop in mid air inside your home, so you can look at it, and then fly back outside through the other wall of your home.

These glowing orbs look like stars and appear during the day or night. When they appear, they are either far up in the sky or only a few feet off the ground.

The most holy and wonderful YAHWEH uses glowing orbs to make Himself known to people.

And, just like the stars of Bethlehem were a sign so people would know where the Messiah was, so are they signs that the most holy and wonderful YAHWEH has chosen me to be His prophet.

Do not misunderstand me. I am not claiming to be the Messiah. I have never claimed this, and I never would.

The fact remains that the stars of Bethlehem have appeared to me over 1,500 times for over a quarter century!
